Ah yes, knew it was some unit that tickled the back of my conscious hehe, been considering that very unit.

Can also drop that we might get Gil-galad and Elendil as uniqe general models, which will be fun

Ohh Also Idk if you have taken this to consideration but the bodyguard unit for Gil-galad could be the Lindon Longspears since Gil-galad use Aeglos but MTW2 does not allow generals to carry anything else but swords

[Ngugi]

Didn't knew about that limitation or rather never thought of it, since there's no other weapons used by generals hehe.
Will ponder on it!

Well I don't know if that a limitation but I have never seen a general in any mod use another thing other than a sword.

[Aldor]

He has no other animation then sword I think. So you can give him an other weapon, but he'll still act like it's a sword. Not sure about this, but it seems logical.

[Ngugi]

Yup, it does
Will take the matter to the Mod Workshop and see what input the wiz's over there may have

Exactly that's the problem you could make a Gil-galad model with Aeglos but he will still fight as is Aeglos was a sword. Since in vanilla MTW2 generals only use swords.

Not if you made Gil-Galad an elephant!

Gil-Goliphaunt! Try and pick me up now Sauron! Mwahaha!

Ahahaha XD

[Aldor]

Not if you made Gil-Galad an elephant!

It's even in the books. If you don't believe me, it was stated somewhere in LotR or Similarion so look it up.

[Ngugi]

Odd but true:

Yet not all the Eldalië were willing to forsake the Hither Lands where they had long suffered and long dwelt; and some lingered many an age in Middle-earth. Among those were Círdan the Shipwright, and Celeborn of Doriath, with Galadriel his wife, who alone remained of those who led the Noldor to exile in Beleriand. In Middle-earth dwelt also Gil-galad the Oliphant, and with him was Elrond Half-elven, who chose, as was granted to him, to be numbered among the Eldar;

Congrats Curufin

[Curufin]

Thanks , Im really interested in the second age and I like how ambitious the mod is, Im going to help in any way I can!

[HeisManziel]

Howdy! I'm ecstatic y'all are making a lore-accurate second age mod! If I wasn't so bad with computers I'd be all for rushing in to help, but alas. I am an English minor and pretty well versed in LOTR lore, so if y'all need help with writing anything, Tolkien linguistics, or just basic ideas I'd love to contribute.

On that note, do y'all have any plans to separate the Dunedain and their Edainic subjects into their own units? It would be a nice way to provide some variety, and seems pretty lore-ish given their differences.

[Ngugi]

Thanks for teh support and offer Currently and as early as this we're just into coding and such but perhaps later on

Yes, 1st tier will consis of Ennor Spearmen and Ennor Archers [Ennor = Middle-earth] and some 2nd tier units will also be either pure Middle-Men or men of both ancestr; while the elite units in the 3d tier will be the Númenóreans themselves
